Where do I start to explain well the service was apauling waiting ages to get a drink we then ordered our food one meal was salmon fillet and the other was chicken my chicken was freezing cold and my partners salmon was raw...

What a wonderful place! The hotel is situated in a quiet little village just north of Durham! The rooms are lovely! They're quiet, warm and comfortable!
